In 2019, the project has provided around US$4.3 million in the form of top-up financing to the overall soum LDF allocations, and nearly US$1.9 million in Performance Based Grants (PBGs) to 222 well-performing soums to supplement their regular LDF allocations. To improve the effectiveness, efficiency, responsiveness and transparency of the LDF as it operates at the soum level, the project has trained 12,450 government staff in budgeting, planning, execution and procurement, as well as community participation techniques, at national, provincial and soum levels. In addition, the Project is working with citizen groups and local authorities to enhance participation of citizens in the identification of priorities and in public procurement processes. Based on good practices identified and lessons learned from community 12/5/2019 Page 1 of 6 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Third Sustainable Livelihoods Project (P125232) participation pilot initiatives in planning and M&E undertaken in 2018, scale-up efforts of the community participation good practices for the LDF have been carried out around the country throughout 2019. LDF performance is assessed through external Annual Performance Assessments (APA), which serve to review the performance of soum authorities in relation to a set of governance, technical and fiduciary criteria over time and in comparison to each other. The APA process for 2019 was completed in a timely manner, and the average soum score increased to 59%, up from 50% in 2018 and 37% in 2017. The previous years’ APA results are publicly available at the following website: http://tusuv-oronnutag.mof.gov.mn/. The 2019 APA report is currently being finalized and will be disseminated by December 31, 2019.
